Hey mate, i dont think guinea pigs are very good food for a snake, especially carpet pythons.
Their coarse hair can cause intestinal blockages in snakes, and they dont have very much nutritional value.
You would probably be better off trying baby rabbits, mice, quail, or chicken.
Your carpet python is a bit small for his age, but if he starts feeding properly i think he could still reach a good adult size.
Personally for him, I would use quail and mice if he will take them.

i think its something to do with nutrietion

We don't; they're too fatty IMO, but I think there's a few people on here who do so having said that once in a while is probably not going to hurt. We generally stick to rats, with the occasional rabbit thrown in for good measure.
